Everyone waits until the year is over to compile their “Best of whatever” movie lists. This has become a mundane practice. Time for a bit of a change, kids.<\/em><\/p>\n

After covering a few film festivals over the last month or so, some noteworthy independent features have found their way into the 2012 rankings. Meanwhile, the theatrical releases prove to be mostly duds save for the surprising comedy, Think Like a Man<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Not Screened:<\/strong> One for the Money, Casa De Mi Padre, Chimpanzee<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn Brothers Beat the Best<\/em><\/p>\n

Writer, director, and star, Ryan O’Nan creates a genuine film that can make you laugh, reflect, and become emotionally involved in. Laced with creative musical tunes and delivered in a unique manner via the lens and screenplay; this is a solid effort that will enter in theaters later this fall.<\/p>\n

Blue Like Jazz<\/em><\/p>\n

The flick gives a unique, and hilarious, perspective regarding how a small-town Baptist kid, who heads off to college, struggles with his religious belief system after having his eyes more-or-less opened by his audacious peers. For the cinema-buffs, this flick kind of feels like a blend of Better Off Dead meets P.C.U. with a touch of Kevin Smith\u2019s Dogma themes.<\/p>\n

Downtown Express<\/em><\/p>\n

It has a subtle spirit to it despite a predictable story that is delivered in a conservative manner. The acting and the engaging musical sequences carries this to a decent watch all the way through.<\/p>\n

Dead Dad<\/em><\/p>\n

Though subtle, and at-times awkward, in its telling, the flick has the ability to drum-up an array of emotions via its three stars\u2026for which I must say, weren\u2019t half bad actually.<\/p>\n

Searching for Sonny<\/em><\/p>\n

While you’ve seen this type of story before, the flick has a charismatic and relate-able vibe to it that intrigues all the way through. Chemistry within the cast and the edginess of the dialogue enables this comedic mystery tale to thoroughly entertain to the extent one can overlook a few minor technical flaws in the storytelling.<\/p>\n

Think Like a Man<\/em><\/p>\n

Read the review<\/a>. A hilarious run-of-the-mill comedy that has a stellar ensemble cast.<\/p>\n

The Lucky One<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s Nicholas Sparks romance tales on the big screen. Except the filmmaking derails this to the point that one just won’t care what is happening on an emotional level.<\/p>\n

Releasing this Friday: <\/strong>The Raven, The Pirates! Band of Misfits, The Five-Year Engagement, Safe <\/em><\/p>\n
